The pool was closed the first two days we were there. But the views were great. The oscillating AC unit blowing on the bed was not ideal. Caused issues with breathing in the night.

The staff were amazing and incredibly friendly — from the porter to the front desk, right through to the beautiful breakfast service. The waiters were attentive, and the ever-smiling chefs truly made the experience special. I was, however, a bit concerned about the cleanliness of the room, particularly the bathroom. The shower glass and walls need more attention. In areas with aluminum joints, I would suggest using a toothbrush to remove the black buildup. The rails could also be wiped down properly to restore that desired shine. Nothing makes a hotel room feel more comfortable than a spotless bathroom.”

I guess the best thing of this hotel is its convenient location. Being a beachfront hotel has its privileges. I’ve stayed in much nicer hotels for half the price. Cheaper to stay somewhere else with a better room and uber to the beach. I had to have maintenance come and fix the shower and sink.
